Would a kind of religious person suffering from these symptoms or perceiving them in another have labeled it as a demonic possession?

Hi!I seem to suffer from a diagnosed kind of migraines and these are some of my experiences with it …

I have a kind of migraines(which is more of a pressure sensation in the head than a pain)that was more/less majorly attributed to psychic or psychological factors but the cause was not entirely known.It is connected to my depression where a migraine would aggravate depression or depression would aggravate the migraine in a vicious cycle…

When a migraine gets more intense(through fluctuations)I get this debilitating pressure feeling on my brain(perhaps with relative vertigo and confusion)where I feel something is inside the brain moving with relative snapping and popping sensations inhibiting my relative thinking and imagination where I would feel like my thoughts and imaginations where more forced on me,rather than me more willingly choosing to think and imagine,like I’m under some kind of a psychic attack or psychic possession.It also plays a role in inhibiting my speech making it seemingly more broken and incoherent.All these inhibition at times make me feel like I want to drink more(I’m an alcoholic)to get my sense of freedom back.Also at many times when the migraines get more intense I get this feeling on my tongue like its too slimy and something like a big insect is on it or like I’m giving oral or feeling like the tongue is moving by itself through my teeth and growing bigger in some kind of macrosomatognosia...

Update:

I also get visual,auditory,olfactory and tactile hallucinations and illusions which I perceive as thoughtforms….

So what would a kind or kinds of religious person/s have perceived all this as?

Update 2:

There is also this intense feeling of being watched that gets more intense with the more intense migraine episodes...

    I'm just speculating on this, I think there is a slight resurgence in the interest of exorcisms, however, it is very sparingly ever determined necessary for them to use an exorcism. They extensively research you along psychologists and doctors to make the recommendation.

    The worst sort of feeling is paranoia. The kind of paranoia that grows like a snowball down a hill. The more you think about it, the more you're stressed. The more you're stressed, the more you think about it. Anyone that tells you you're fine, or it's not what you think it is, regardless of whether or not you agree, you're still in a mental rut because of the paranoia.

    Demons have never been demonstrated to exist. Demons used to be the explanation for illness, but that was before the germ theory was created, giving a rational explanation for it. The salem witch trials never actually demonstrated the practice of witch craft. Even the one that testified against others later admitted she was or could of been wrong.

    So if you're wondering 'is the answer demons?'. What reason do we have to believe that demons exist. Yes, you're feeling what you're feeling. However, do you know what's causing that?

    Operate under the assumption that you are in control. If you were posessed, it's not like the demon in your head would say 'O yes, i'm possessing you.' It would disguise itself. How can you distinguish your own feelings from feelings that are caused by a demon (which hasn't been demonstrated yet)?. So, act as though it is you're in control, and get help.
